Why Ping Exists

Because you already care about your people. You just need a better way to show it.

The Problem We Noticed

Most people have a list of people they mean to stay in touch with. Friends from college. Former colleagues. Family members in other cities. People who matter.

And most people feel guilty about it. They think about reaching out, then don't. They worry they've waited too long. They overthink what to say. So they say nothing.

The tools that exist don't help. CRMs feel transactional. Reminder apps feel mechanical. Social media feels performative. Nothing feels like the way you actually want to connect with people you care about.

What We Believe

Relationships aren't tasks

You can't optimize friendship. You can't schedule intimacy. Real relationships have their own rhythm — sometimes frequent, sometimes quiet, always human.

Memory is the foundation

The best relationships are built on remembering. What someone cares about. What you talked about last time. What you promised to follow up on. Memory is how you show people they matter.

Silence isn't failure

Not every relationship needs weekly check-ins. Some of the deepest connections survive months of silence. The goal isn't more contact — it's better contact, when it matters.

Technology should feel calm

Most apps want your attention. They notify, nudge, and guilt you into engagement. We think the best tools are the ones that help you do what you already wanted to do — then get out of the way.

What We're Building

Ping is a quiet assistant for your relationships. It remembers what you'd forget. It suggests when to reach out — and when not to. It helps you show up for the people who matter, without making it feel like work.

We're not building a social network. We're not building a productivity tool. We're building something that helps thoughtful people be more thoughtful — without trying so hard.

Our Commitment

We believe relationship data is some of the most personal data that exists. We treat it that way:

  • We will never sell your data
  • We will never show you ads
  • We will never use dark patterns to increase engagement
  • We will always let you export and delete your data
  • We will always be transparent about how we use AI

For People Who Want to Be Thoughtful

Ping isn't for everyone. It's for people who already care about their relationships and want a tool that makes it easier to act on that care.

If that's you, we built this for you.

"You already care about your people. Ping makes it easier to show up — calmly, consistently, and on your terms."
